Next week, come back for the first of several NON-PROFIT BUSINESS seminars:
Thursday, April 09, 2015 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM – Building 2, Room 207
There is a tremendous interest coming from our communities of wanting to know how to form a non-profit business. Careful consideration should be given to this quest and much attention needs to be given to the proper steps to take. Failure to do so could result in with serious consequences for individuals as well as becoming detrimental to the original cause for which the non-profit was designed. If you are considering stating a non-profit business, please plan to attend this very informative seminar. Participants will discover: •Basics on what a non-profit business is •Refine the definition of a non-profit •Issues to consider before starting a non-profit •Key steps in forming a non-profit
Next weekend, join us for two GREAT seminars
Saturday, April 11, 2015 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM – Building 2, Room 202
This seminar will be a crash course on what participants need to know so that they can be great at crowdfunding and will include information concerning… 1. What is Crowdfunding and how did it get Started 2. Two Types of Crowdfunding 3. How do Start-ups and Businesses Raise Money Through Crowdfunding? 4. Common misconceptions concerning crowd funding. 5. Setting your fundraising goals. 6. A few tips and tricks about storytelling. 7. Ways people are crowdfunding. The good news is that crowdfunding is the most game-like and engaging form of fundraising, so it gives you a great chance at success. The bad news is that most projects still fail. This is unnecessary and happens because people don’t understand how to give themselves the best chance of success.
Saturday, April 11, 2015 10:45 AM to 1:15 PM – Building 2, Room 202
Creating a strategy for using social media is no longer optional for nonprofits. Social media tools include a fast-changing and constantly growing collection of web-based and mobile technologies. These tools turn formerly broadcast and one-way messages into an interactive conversation and can be hugely effective for nonprofits that are really organizations developed to bring about social change organizations. However, in the rush to get on the Facebook and Twitter bandwagons, many nonprofits ignore the strategy and planning required to achieve success in social media. I have developed a new seminar to include essential steps that a Nonprofit organization can take to create a strategy and plan for social media efforts. A little planning goes a long way!
